Heritage listing
Details The memorial stands on a small green in the road junction to the west of the Church of St Mary (Grade I-listed). It comprises a Latin cross in Cornish granite, with octagonal arms and shaft, and a moulded foot. The shaft rises from an octagonal plinth that stands on a three-stepped, octagonal, base. The principal inscription on one face of the plinth reads TO THE MEMORY/ OF STEBBING MEN/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918. The names of those who died in the First World War are recorded on adjacent faces. A further inscription on another face reads GREATER LOVE HATH/ NO MAN THAN THIS/ THAT A MAN LAY/ DOWN HIS LIFE/ FOR HIS FRIENDS. In addition, another face of the plinth reads 1939 – 1945, with the names of those six servicemen who died in the Second World War recorded below. All inscriptions are formed by attached metal lettering painted with black enamel. This List entry has been amended to add the source for War Memorials Online.
